Resurfacing v. THR with Ceramic on Ceramic

[Guest guest]

I am 33 year old male and currently scheduled for 2 THRs, 9 days

apart. I have only recently come across all this information on

Resurfacing and obviously am now questioning my THRs. Any insight

on the following questions would be appreciated. In the meantime I

am also contacting Dr. Gross' office.

1) What determines if Resurfacing is an option?

2) How much more active can one be with a Resurfacing v. a THR with

C/C (ex. Ice Hockey, Baseball are not recommended with a THR)?

3) What is the projected (estimated) life of a Resurface v. C/C for

an active adult?

4) If the Resurface fails, is a C/C THR still an option?

Time is of the essence for me since I am scheduled for the first THR

a week from tomorrow. I somehow need to gather enough information

to at least make a decision to go through with next week or not.

Thanks for your thoughts.
